Harry Connick, Jr. - Boozehound lyrics

I used to be a boozehound Spent my time downtown Gettin round Sittin in the barroom Tryin to get another drink "I think you've had enough" "Come on... Just one more" This time I ain't feelin so fine Whatcha say we get to downin Don't throw me just forget about the line I wish I could be drownin Sweet water... I ain't seen her in a while I don't know if I can face her I know she can always make me smile If I can't outrun my chaser I used to be a boozehound Buzzin round midtown Gettin loaded Tryin to get a number Feelin mighty good "Is this guy bothering you?" "No, no, I was just..." All my life there ain't never been a drought That's probably been my downfall Even though, you know, I might be pa**ed out I won't drop the high ball I know where the river flows And the lives that it devours Ain't it great I can touch my nose But I can't smell the flowers I used to be a boozehound Stumblin uptown Gettin higher Fallin off the barstool Rememberin where I left the floor "Say buddy, you need some help" "No, I'm cool..." Come and get me you can be my Boogeyman You can catch me on the rebound You may not fly like the Candyman can But it's safer on the ground Just one more trip to the fun house They'll smother me with foam See, my brother, that's the one house That I can call my home
